Once you mount the transducer.. can you hook it up while it's still wet to make sure it's reading ok before it sets?

Sorry hard to get a decent pic, must be the camo.Put up a pic of the bottom of the yak and maybe inside of it
flat spot under your seat?
There is a valley that runs down the guts that i reckon it would sit ok in. Looks like people use high density foam to make a surround from then fill with silicone. Reckon it would be ok in that valley? I guess I'll have to put something to weight the foam down to mould to the hull shape when drying.
The other option is the 4th pic which is to the side of the yak, will it affect the reading if that part of the hull is not always under water?
Yes there is swarf in there... No I won't be sticking the vacuum in there

Never seen those before. Got a link?
I've only ever seen the small squeeze tubes and the 260g cartridges.

Not yet.. but already said yes to this one.
Was looking before inside the yak, not really much of a flat surface to work with when mounting the transponder to the floor.
Need to do some more research.

I can get a real good price on a Lowrance Hook2-4x So i reckon i'm going to go with that.. It should do the job, I don't need anything to fancy.

Sorry for the thread dig, but doing some research on mounting ideas.. How did this set up go? Has the sounder survived with all the water it would have seen?

I'm having withdrawals already.. Always like looking at that one.

I used to get my live beach worms from Brighton tackle or spot on Seaton. The later has now closed down.

Some of the Ebay braid is alright.. I still have it on a couple of reels and been on there for over 10yrs and still is better then some of the top priced stuff. Spectra brand from memory, I think they stopped selling it under that name and re branded it tho, Can't remember the new name.

When i went out with my mate chasing them on plastics and jigs we used to hit the school up... But you need to know where they are so knowing someone in the know is always a start.

As above.. Freezing them make it a lot less messy to cut them up.

You can get them pretty close to the carpark.

Yep the little clips are the way to go.. I use the "Decoy" ones.. Never had a failure. Most tackle store have them.

I see our lovely government have signed off to start doing this in a few months and dumping the toxic crap out in the gulf of SV
